제목 Sulfur tolerance mechanisms of the samarium (Sm)-doped cerium oxide (CeO2) from first-principles
초록 The modification of Ni-based anode by CeO2-based materials has been considered a promising candidate for reducing sulfur poisoning since the oxygen storage capability (OSC) of CeO2-based materials is expected to greatly enhance the sulfur tolerance. However, the underlying mechanism that governs the sulfur tolerance of CeO2-based materials still remains unclear. The current study investigates the role of samarium (Sm) in determining the sulfur tolerance of Sm doped-CeO2 (SmxCe1-xO2) using density functional theory calculations. For this, we examined how H2S is decomposed and SO2 is formed on SmxCe1-xO2 and CeO2, and analyzed the electronic structures of the surfaces to better understand the origin of sulfur tolerance in CeO2-based materials. We demonstrate that Sm doping depletes electron density of lattice oxygen facilitating oxygen vacancy formation and promotes H2S decomposition and SO2 formation by stabilizing S and lowering SO2 desorption energy. The enhanced S interaction on Sm doped-CeO2 is attributed to the Sm 4f orbital that fills O 2p-Ce 4f gap of CeO2.
